Open War at Last Declared (press report.
-WAsHINoToN CRY, July PA number
Of prominent and influential Knights of
Labor, whose names cannot be divulged
at present, but who would be readily re-
cognized in the north and East as men,
bers in good standing and among the
most earnest and devoted advocates of the
labor cause, at a recent conference adopt
ed an address to the members of the order
wherever found" in which they declare
that the membership of the order is large
ly decreasing because Of Its departure
from its fundamental principles; that the
failure Of the Minneapolis general assem-
bly, to re-establish these principles will re-
suit in still further impairment, if not
destruction, of the usefulness Of the order
protest against the arbitrary methods"
by which the constitution has been altered
and tendency to oligarchic rule estab-
lished, and claim that the order was estab-
lished to put down monopoly, and bring
the national government back to the rule
Of the majority. The address then ap-
peals to the members to instruct 'their
delegates to the general assembly to Or
ganize under the old constitution, and to
take steps to submit to the members of
the order, in such manner as to satisfy
all that constitutional majority Of the
members voting have accepted or rejected
each clause, a constitution embodying the
following: VI
l. The executive board to be as its
name indicates, the means Of executing
the will of the order; to collect, tabulate
and publish reports and statistics, and the
addresses Of local and other officers, and
the decisions of courts affecting the whole
order, hut not to have power to suspend
any member or assembly of the order, but
only to prefer charges before court to
be provided for that purpose by the con-
stitution.
2. The members of the executive board
and all officers to be amenable to trial by
court of a disinterested local, district or
state assembly, or by special court.
8 To prevent any officer or member
from inAicting his views or opinions on
any subject whatever upon the order e1-
cept by having them first adopted by a
local, dis rict or state assembly, and then
published as the opinions of such assem-
bly,, and not of the members.
4. To provide for the retention, under
proper safeguards, in the local or district
assemblies, of all money not needed for
the absolutely necessary expenses of the
general officers and their assistants.
8. To recognize the right of self-gov-
evernment, with voluntary and not coerc-

ed cooperation between the different OF

ed cooperation between the different or.
ganizations.
6. To provide for appeals to the vote
of the whole order on matters of general
interest, or affecting the constitution, and
to provide in the same manner for amend.
ments to the constitution. !.
z. To require itemixed statements OF
receipts and expenditures with vouchers,
to be submitted by all executive officers
or committees at least once q quarter, SO
that receipts may be verified and expen-
ditures scrutinised By those whose money
has been contributed.
"In short, We ask as the only assurance
Of the continuance of the order, that the
principle Of the people ruling and our
representatives serving with strict &C.
countability be recognized; anything else
means Capitalization of power, which is
the essence of monarchy, ari- tocracy and
monopoly, and .spntrary to the ends and
aims Of the order which was constituted
to combat such tendencies. A house di
vided among itself cannot stand. He
that would be greatest among us let him
serve and not attempt to rule"
Some of the most prominent members
of several of the largest assemblies are
identified with the address, and according
to information gathered by the united
press on the subject, the document bids
fair to create great deal of interest in
Knights of Labor circles throughout the
entire country.

Rum AND LABOR.
The Labor Party Entertains
The Prohibition Party
Leaders
And Discuss the Question Of What
Causes the Poverty ofthe
People.

81 There was an excellent attendance at
Nef's Hall at the meeting Of the Union
Labor Club last night. President NAB
donald occupied the chair. The meeting
was opened with song. The question
under discussion was women and temper
ance. There was quite good attendance
of the prominent prohibitionists Of the
city.
Lawyer Dillon led of in twenty-min-
ute speech, an excellent plea for helpless
women and children.
Miss McCarty followed ct length in q
very able manner, showing oonclusively
that intemperance, though being an evil,
was not the direct cause of poverty, but
there were other and more important rea-
sons that made women the slave of the
slave. She gave the crowd Betel's
"Woman" straight.
Mr.. johnson then spoke in favor Of
prohibition.
Henry CoheI followed with an excellent
paper on the poverty side of the question.
Judge Brazee was the next to champion
the cause of temperance, giving statistics
showing how much money was spent
yearly in Denver for rum, that could be
so much better spent for bread. He con
cluded his argument by drawing very
vivid picture of the evil effects of the
rum shop.
Mr.. Byron Millett then arose and show.
ed up the evils of intemperance, proving
conclusively that poverty is the cause Of
intemperance, and advocated the removal
of the cause and the effect would disap'
pear. The way to accomplish that, he
said, was to rally to the support of the
Union Labor Party. Mr.. Millett conclpd-
ed his remarks by reading a speech deliv-
cred before meeting of the Knights OF
st. Crispin by Wendell Phillips, in sup
port of his theory.
Mr.. Hancock, of Douglas county, was
then called for, and responded by saying
he was in sympathy with the Labor Party
and the prohibitionists.
Mr.. Ashton then made few very for
cible remarks showing that the Labor
Party polled in Denver, after six weeks OF
organization, fifteen hundred votes, while
the prohibition party, after being organ.
ized for years, could only poll seven OF
eight hundred.
J.J. Smith, of the Iron Molders', in.
vited the prohihitionists to come and join
the Labor Party.
Mr. Leahy said he favored temperance
but could not accept the theory that in
temperance alone causes poverty. He said
that the prohibitiOnists we're continually
throwing that in the face of workingmen
not stopping to think that he was robbed
of nine-tenths of his earnings, and, not
satisfied with that, he had been robbed oi
his natural interchangeable land. HI
closed his remarks by inviting the prOhi
bitionists to take off their kid gloves and
come over to the Labor Party, and ther
the temperance question would solve it
self.
The meeting closed with q song by the
Cheesewright brothers.
The same question will be discussed
next Thursday night.

John Swinton's Paper.

Two Lickspittles Gone vp.-All the labor
editors in the country will rejoice over the
failure of the two men who have been run
ming the Labor Neus of Manchester, n. H.
1t has been the scorpion of the labor
press. Its columns have been given up
almost wholly to the lampooning of nearly
all labor editors-though Kendall has
steered clear of the editor of this paper.
Its scurrility has passed all bounds, and
IT has always reminded us of the New
York Seuer of old days, as described by
Charles Dickens. At the same time, pre-
tending to be a Knight of Labor organ, it
crawled like Persian slave before the
functionaries of the order from whom it
begged favors, and spattered them with
puffery from which any self-respecting
man would shrink. As reward for this,
one is ashamed to say, it was put on the
"official list;" but even that could not
save Kendall, who now, according to his
own statement, 'retires quietly" We
fear there will be less quiet than uproar

from the Piedmont Press of Hickory:
"The question whether the cooperative

The Knit Goods Workers Hare Their
Sdy.-The following from the Labor Stage
OF Amsterdam, New York, July "a, organ
of the knit goods workers assemblies, is
OF interest:
The attempt Of the general executive
board TO saddle on our local officers the
blame for its failure to offer any active
resistance to the knit goods lockout is
proving as unhealthy for it as we pre-
dicted.
II is now matter OF public notoriety
that the general executive board is not
only guilty of taking no active measures
to fight the knit goods combination in the
markets, and guilty Of allowing the case
to go by default when IT could easily have
won, but II is also proven that the board
is also guilty of inaugurating the real
fight by siding with the manufacturers on
the start and admitting that they we're
right whom they we're clearly wrong. II is
shown beyond doubt by several reliable
documents, that are public property, that
the board agreed with Messrs. Sillimah
and Sheard, Of the manufacturers associa-
tion, that our Amsterdam knitters were
represented in and bound by the Cohoes
agreement Though the agreement shows
they are not), and that the board made
this admission and agreed with these men
that our knights we're wrong, pithom eren
lcditing 10 gire their orn brothers hearing.
But, IL also now transpires that the
board agreed at the time with Silliman
and Sheard that as our knights were
wrong and the employers right, a telegram
would Immediately be sent to our district
master ordering him to surrender, and to
order the locked-out people back to work
and we understand that these officers of
the knit goods combination have been al
lowed to believe, and believe to-day that
such telegram was sent here. But it
appears now that after this promise was
given, and the men had gone, telegram
was received there from our people in
striicting the general officers to make no
concessions without hearing from our
people, and that therefore the promised
telegram ,cds not sent. Mr.. Barry, how
ever, was sent on to endeaver to force the
Cohoes agreement on our people, simply
to keep faith with our people' NoD
with the emissaries of the association
which had locked them out; rather than
MAKE a manly admission to them and con-
fess that they had not only exceeded their
powers but had made stupid mistake.
This furnishes the reason for the spa-
thy Of the board in pushing fight.
In any other war or contest IL the gen
erals so betrayed their people by pretend
ing to hght and yet neglecting to even
assault the besieging enemy at his most
vulnerable point, such officers would be
court.martialed and shot.
Yet some papers tell us we should keep
quiet about it. II Is the doing and not
the telling this that has hurt the order.
Witness the subsequent lockouts and their
consequences.

What Is the COURTYARD For2

The sovereigns eat watermelons

6ance Of the orders of the county
court to the contrary. We do not
believe in disobeying the law, and
neither do we believe in making I'M
necessary and foolish laws. The
order of the court is wrong. The
courtyard belongs to the people and
is exactly suited for a resort and
Ought TO be free to 0e used at all
times by the people. The order
shutting the ladies out with their
ice cream suppers is wrong also.
They didn't kill the grass. The

Curing Glover Hav.

Clover hay, when properly cure d
and taken care of, is one of the fin
est articles of forage that can be
grown, but when poorly made and
musty is not fit for a horse to eat.
Now, while it is true that very
much depends on the weather, yet
it is equally true that good clover
hay may be made almost any year.
1t is impossible, however, to make
good clover hay without having
two clear days in succession unless
you provide yourself with water
proof caps. But say you have two
fair days in succession from the
time you commence cutting-and
which should be when about one
halt OF the heads are turning brown
the mower should be started as
soon in the morning as the dew is
off and kept running until you have
barely time to put it all in winrow
before night, the larger the winrows
the better, as they hold more heat,
and it is the heat that does the cur
ing while in winrows.
When the crop has been cut with
the hot sun shining thereon for a
few hours, it will have absorbed
heat enough to almost cook it dur
ing the night. Then in the morn
ing as soon after breakfast as pos
sible the winrows should be gently
loosened up with forks to allow the
air free access through them unit
noon, by which time the hay will be-
ready to put in the NOW. It is bet
ter, unless rain is very imminent
never to put clover hay into cock
but haul it in direct from the win
row. The curing is then done il
the winrow over night. No sal
should ever be used on clover hay
especially when pntting away in tn
NOW. Salt draws moisture flon
the atmosphere, and as consequence
will cause the hay the more readil
to heat and become musty.

With all due allowance for
recreation, reading, etc., there
come intervals intervals in ordina-
ny work on the farm, half days or
more, when farmer and men
are idle or unprofitably using
their time. They might just as
we'll be at work, but do not know
just what to go at, and the time
slips away with telling stories and
Intellectual "puttering" about the
place. There is plenty of work
needing attention if they would on
ly 90 at it. The careful farmer
will look out for this and always
have "pegaway" job in mind for
the occasion. 1t may be cutting
wood, or torking over manure, or
white washing hen-house or COW
stables. Frequently there are per-
manent improvements needed, which
the farmer is SLOW TO begin, but
which, once started, under the
"peg-away" plan would be. accom-
plished before he was aware of it.
The ground may need grading so as
to give better slope TO the lawn,
or to drain the surface water from
the cellar or outbuildings. Hedge
rows may need clearing out. Good
solid stone walls will rise in this
way, foot by foot and rod by rod at
time. Roadways, bridges and
paths can be put in order, drain
ing attended to, fences and gates
repaired and great deal of per
manent work done which will add
convenience, profit and increased
value to the farm, should it any
time be sold.-Amer. Agriculturist.
